6 Claims.

The invention is directed to a curling device for shaping or waving hairand more particularly is concerned with a hair curling device havingcomplementaryvhair holding or gripping instrumentalities about which thehair to be curled or shaped is wound and with which a swingableresilient hair pin shaped loop cooperates for properly holding the hairwound on the complements in place. The invention has as one ofn itsobjects the provision of a hair curling device which comprises few partsfor quick assembly and which may be manufactured at a relatively lowcost. The invention has as another object the provision of a haircurling device having a swingable and resilient looped shaped memberpivotally attached to manipulatable portions of the complements forholding the latter normally closed and for removably interlocking withone of the complements to hold the hair wound about position. The

loop to be swung relative to the complements so that its closed end maybe conveniently interlocked with one of the complements withoutpartially separating the complements. Other obfeatures of the inventionare in part obvious and in part pointed out hereinafter.

The invention accordingly comprises, features of construction,combination of elements and arrangement of parts which will beexemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth and scope thereofwill be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

For a clearer understanding of the invention attention is directed tothe several embodiments drawing in which:-

A swingable loop ,'10 13 serves to hold the hair wound about thecomplements in place when swung to be interlocked with one end ofcomplement 10, the latter being in the form of a substantiallycylindrical tube having spatially arranged perforations 12. Complement11 is in the form of a semi-cylindrical shaped or concave-convexrelatively light weight sheet metal or other suitable stock, such asaluminum or the like. also within the province of the invention to havethe complements made of a suitable hard rubber or wood.

The tube is providedwith a pair of spaced 35 perforated upstanding lugsor ears* 14 and 15 which appropriately support the transversely arrangedpin 16. Complementary holding element 11 is also provided with' a pairof perforated deas 17 which straddle the pair .9o of ears of the tubeand which are pivoted on pin 16, the latter having its other endssuitably upset to hold the depending ears of complement 11 within closeproximity to the upstanding ears of the tube to prevent transverse play.

In accordance with the invention each complements is provided with aterminal manipulatable portion for raising complement 11 away from itsassociated holding complement 10, that. is, complement 11 comprisesan'upwardly and 100 outwardly manipulatable portion or extension 18 andthe tube 10 embodies a downwardly and outwardly manipulatable portionVor extension 19. Each of these extensions includes a raised or bossshaped'member as 20 each having an outside 105 horizontal face 21, theoutside faces 21 of the bosses being disposed parallel to each other.

A spring hair pin loop generally designated 13 has its terminals 23 and24 of its legs 25 and 26 pivotallyattached to an associated horizontally1.10
